Mutilate

'Is Raven from the Teen Titans a hero or one of the greatest threats we've ever faced?' The news caster asked the whole world before Raven shut off the T.V. and threw the remote somewhere in the room. Some of her demon side had escaped and got out of control. Of course, the whole city had to blame her.

She sighed trying to clear her head of the new thoughts that her father crept into her mind. Making her question so much she tries to live up to. The mage trekked to her room, only to find Damian blocking the entrance to her room. "Hey beautiful." He said kissing her cheek. She barely cracked a smile before asking, "Um..I need to meditate so can you leave me alone for a while?" Damian raised a brow at her sudden behavior switch. Usually she'd never turn him down. But when she did she wouldn't ask. Damian placed the back of his hand on her forehead. Feeling for a temperature change he asked, "Are you feeling okay?" She slapped his arm away from her. "I'm fine." She stepped into her room, slamming the door shut. He'd never seen her so hostile towards him. The former boy wonder decided it would be best to let her cool off.

Two hours past and Damian decided that her cool off time was over. The teen stepped up to her room and knocked; he heard shuffling around in the room before Raven opened the door between them. Her hood was up, covering her face. "Beloved, why do you have your hood up? You know I hate it." He stated. The mage deeply inhaled a ragged breath, making Damian worry, "Have..you been crying?" She took her hood off. Bringing her red and puffy eyes into view. Once Damian saw this he instinctively wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a hug. Which she weakly returned back. The two reluctantly pulled away from the hug, Damian's hands still resting on her shoulders. "Can you tell me what's wrong?" He questioned, desperately wanting to know why his girl was crying. Just as she opened her mouth to answer the crime alert went off. Raven groaned as the two heroes ran to the lounge. "It's Doctor Light." Kori informed the team.

The Titans arrived at the scene. Doctor light had put up a big fight that evening, leaving all of the Titans hurt. But Raven still had some fight left. Because of the recent news, her father had decided to take over. Making her skin red, four eyes that glowed bright red. Her demonic magic raced towards the enemy, draining all life from his face and all energy from his body. Doctor light fainted while Raven struggled to contain the demon. "Raven!" She heard Jaime yell, breaking her out of the trance. Her body turned to normal; her body falling limp. She fell to her knees meanwhile her lungs struggled to get a breath because of the hyperventilation. Damian ran to her side. Tilting her head up, trying to help her breathe normally again.

Once the Titans arrived home the mage ran to her room. Not wanting to face the embarrassment.
